My problem hs been solved - and everything works. I recompiled libcddb from Slackware sources and everything is now OK, including my bash. It turns out that my version of libcddb was bad, failed to recognize /dev/cdrom generated a null string when executed, which then caused your logic test to fail. Nothing wrong from your side. Mea culpa!

1. "Has anyone had trouble with this player in Puppy 4 ?"
I'm running it from BoxPup 4.1.3 installed to an ext2 Linux partition on my internal HDD.
It displays all tracks on a commercial audio CD, but will only play the 1st track.
It does this if I have the program running with no disk in the drawer ["No CD found"], and then if I put a disk in and close the drawer, the 1st window still shows no disk found, but a 2nd window opens showing the 1st track info and it plays.
If I then stop that playing, and close that 2nd window, the 1st window still doesn't display any tracks.
So I click "Read disk" and the tracks are displayed.
Then I can highlight any of the listed tracks OK, but when the play button is clicked, all that happens is a dotted square appears inside the edge of the button, but the track doesn't play.

2. I really like the simplicity of this player, so I'd like to get it to work.

I don't know boxpup, so it's hard to tell whats wrong. I would check if boxpup uses crdtools or cdrkit. This can be determined by execute 'which icedax' in terminal. Icedax is part of the cdrkit package, and is the one used in the official Puppy. Could you start pcd from terminal and post the output here.

Sorry about your slow system
It sounds like a hardware issue.
Vovchic used the 'interface' switch for scsi in /usr/local/pcd/func (-play)

Repeated the pcd command, but this time I put a commercially produced CD in the drawer and closed it.
The 2nd player window opened, and the 1st track began playing, but...
There was no additional output in the sakura terminal.
Right-clicked the icon in the system tray and clicked "Stop", with no change.
Clicked the eject button in the 1st window and still no additional output in the terminal.
